when you look at the people i faced for a couple decades, that is terrorists inspired by al qaeda, they after 9/11 went to bombs that were much more sophisticated. explosives were more sophisticated. they received training that was pretty advanced. they selected targets that were harder than this target. i would argue more iconic. that is transportation targets that are recognizable worldwide. in this case you've got folks who selected a very soft target. very primitive devices. and a target that i don't think is iconic globally even though it is in the united states. >> phil and tom, both of you stand by. we're awaiting the president and the first lady. they're going to be heading over from air force one over to the cathedral of the holy cross. we'll watch the interfaith service in its entirety here on cnn. our special coverage will continue right after this. many people are struggling with issues related to mental health. by earning a degree in the field of counseling or psychology from capella university, you'll have the knowledge to make a difference in the lives of others. let's ge

this wasn't the most sophisticated plot, it wasn't al qaeda central like, it wasn't like 9/11, needless to say, but these guys weren't bumplers. the fact that the attacks took place on an iconic event like the boston marathon, the fact that they had multiple explosives and the fact they didn't flee immediately, all this suggests there may have been additional attacks they were going to carry out. i think these guys were fairly sophisticated and obviously did huge, huge damage. >> do we know how strong the foreign connection is at this point? >> no, we don't. let me be clear, just because the foreign government may have information doesn't mean that the foreign connection equals direction by a terrorist organization such as al qaeda or any other terrorist organization. there could be lots of other reasons why this government was worried. perhaps there were mailings, just ordinary postal mailings that they came across with information that this person wanted to create some harm. we've seen that, for instance, in our country with threats to the president of the united states. ordinary post
